“In fact, just to point out one of the ideas, this engenders a lot of interest and a lot of initiative. Indeed, one of our constituents in Carefree, Arizona, put together a proposal. He attended a town hall meeting in Carefree and two nights later was back at another town hall in Fountain Hills, Arizona, where he had put together his own plan that, indeed, I will take and certainly take into the Committee on Ways and Means and offer to the Joint Committee on Taxation and take a look at with my staff, because that is the essence of our constitutional Republic, different opinions, different notions. In fact, the gentleman, as he brought the plan down, I could not help but say, imagine if it is this skill, and someone on the front lines who has been in business, has not been wrapped up in electioneering, has not been part of bureaucratic intrigue, but simply seeks a solution, how refreshing it would be? And one other constituent at the meeting said, there may be a town hall marker, there may be a historical marker placed outside this room saying, here is where the solution was found. That type of participation we need. One cannot help but note the stark contrast to before we arrived in Washington when those in the administration dealing with health care wanted to have almost super secret meetings and then unveil a plan from soup to nuts that ostensibly was going to help the American people.”
